Description of problem:
/sbin/sysctl is called at boot time, somewhere in one of the first 
boot scripts. On my system, it immediately fails, because libncurses.
so.x, which is located in the /usr filesystem space, is not 
available. libgpm.so is also missing, btw.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
procps-2.0.17-6

How reproducible:
always on systems where /usr is on a separate partition

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot

or alternatively:

1. unmount all filesystems != / (where the latter includes /sbin, 
/lib, ...)
2. /sbin/sysctl
  
Actual results:
Program not started, missing dyn lib

Expected results:
Program runs.

Additional info:
Programs used at boot time should never depend on libraries which are 
not in /lib. So either:
a) Use a different program in the boot scripts.  ;-)
b) Link libncurses and libgpm statically to sysctl. :-P
c) Move libncurses.so* and libgpm.so* from /usr/lib to /lib.
d) Build something like a "/sbin/sysctl-minimal" (like
   "vim-minimal" or "aumix-minimal") and use this in the boot
   scripts, and move the full featured sysctl to /usr/bin.

Thanks,
Moritz.
